Replacement of Front Headlight Bulb

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Headlight bulb

To replace the front headlight bulbs (H11 and H1 fittings), you must remove the headlight, but fortunately, this does not require the removal of other components such as the front bumper; once the rear bonnet is opened, simply unscrew the fixing pins of the headlight to pull it forward and disconnect the corresponding power connector; at this point, remove the rubber cap applied behind the headlight, disconnect the connector from the bulb (H11), and turn it to release it along with the bulb holder; then move on to the other bulb (H1).
